Hmm, I have a question that's a little off topic, but it's still about a jacket!

I developed a small tear (about 1 centimeter in width, 2 centimeters in length) in the arm of my favorite North Face jacket I cycle in when I fell off my bike... Has anyone had any experience sending stuff into The North Face (I got this jacket madly discounted at a sample sale so I don't know their policy on that) or repairing jackets themselves?
